    You really are rattled. Calm down flower. I don't need to show evidence of racism, just evidence that he's repeatedly being unfairly accused of wrongdoing. We have it here, we had it with people blaming him for Beevor Court being shut, despite clear evidence of the requirement from the council, I've even see people blame him for Schopp despite the fact he only joined after Schopp had been appointed. I wonder why it keeps happening.

    Stop using Twitter buzzwords like the troll you are and show valid proof of racism.

    I can think of a few things that don’t look good on him.
    1) west stand debacle- closed for safety reasons? Pull the other one.
    2) Ponzi shirt sponsors.

    That’s without really thinking about it, sure there’s more. What’s interesting is that I feel like I was asking a legitimate question- with no accusation attached to it, about the timelines of his appointment as CEO and when these problems the EFL have charged us with.
    It seems that a lot of people are willing to just say it was the people who no longer have any say in the club who are to blame, without providing any evidence that that’s the case.
    Instead you come back with thinly veiled accusations of racism- a clumsy attempt to shutdown the debate.

    The vouchers debacle.
    Saying that we'd had an unsuccessful season finishing in the playoffs because we didn't get bids for players
    Saying that he'd prefer a young 'project' manager than an experienced one who would keep us up, and then appointing that clown.

    Or it could be because barnsley fans don't like Swedish blokes, they only like Americans and Frenchmen

    So what is it you wonder exactly? Why are you so reluctant to say it?

    Khaled's failings certainly don't need any fabrication, he just doesn't seem to learn. He is the head of a professional organisation, and we wonder why we sometimes look amateurish.

    I don't rate him and I think we could do better.

    An hour before you wrote this, you wrote “wtf are you on about you plant pot?”

    Yeah cos that’s the same or as bad as slanderous accusations.

    I don't think calling someone a plant pot is the same as accusing people of being racist

    That's not what happened though, is it? You absolutely were not asking a legitimate question in any kind of good faith. You took an opportunity to try to have a dig at Khaled by suggesting that he might be culpable in some way, as opposed to more obvious targets such as JAQ, Gauthier Ganaye or Dane Murphy. When I responded with a reasoned post your response was a subsequently edited snide remark about flatbreads - to clumsily shut down the debate. You clearly just wanted to have a pop at Khaled, and I wondered why that could be. Have a good evening.

    Remember Khaled cancelling that friendly with Watford at short notice then smugly made a joke about it during a fans forum meeting.

    What a brilliant CEO.

    Thinking about this situation, it seems to me to be optimistic to expect that the club will not bear the brunt of the punishment for these irregularities (assuming they are admitted/proved) and that any sanctions will fall largely on the two named individuals. Looking at it objectively, that would allow the get-out that a slight adjustment to the ownership would deflect any punishment from the club involved. Not only that, but as I understand it, Conway was at the time representing some individuals who still form part of the ownership. And furthermore, we achieved a promotion during the period in which some of these irregularities appear to have taken place. I wouldn't be surprised if the consequences for the club are more severe than some are expecting. I hope I'm wrong.
